2007 AMA National Ice Racing Championships

Menasha, WI – The “2007 AMA National Ice Racing Championships” are set to return to the shores of Waverly Beach February 2-4, 2007. After the Midwest suffered through the warmest winter on record in over 30 years in 2006, American Motorcyclist Association (AMA) officials decided Wisconsin is still a prime location for the largest ice race of the year.

“We don’t expect such crazy weather two years in a row,” comments Scott Biese of Fantasy Moto, LLC. “Although we never had the opportunity to put studs to the ice in 2006, we learned some invaluable lessons in dealing with weather challenges. We’ve assembled an incredibly experienced team to deal with any issues we might face this season.”

“Promoting a true National Championship has been on the radar since the day this company was founded back in 1996. Mother Nature will not ruin the plans this year as Fantasy Moto is on the record with the promise to move the event anywhere! The staff at Fantasy Moto is made up of racers, ex-racers and hardcore enthusiasts, that makes it easy to give participants what they want since we live and walk everyday in their shoes,” adds Deana Friebel, Fantasy Moto Regional Events Coordinator.

Waverly Beach is a Mecca of activity in the winter months and the on-shore facilities are second to none. The small arena less than 100 feet from the shore provides a lot of opportunities. The Powersports Show is also set to return in conjunction with the race and will be located indoors at Waverly Beach. The Powersports Show will feature apparel, accessories, new and used units, snowmobiles, ATVs and motorcycles for both street and dirt, making this Fantasy Moto event a multifaceted activity for all motorsports enthusiasts.

“It’s amazing, the last time this race came to Wisconsin was in Eagle River a few years back. There were people from all over the country. In my opinion ice racing is bigger than ever. We’re glad the AMA has the foresight to see beyond the weather difficulties of 2006,” states Joel Janssen of Janssen Motorsports.

Fantasy Moto will offer online pre-registration in weeks leading to the event. The local chamber of commerce and visitors and conventions bureau is also compiling a list of hotels that will offer discounted rates for event participants and fans. All details for the race, including times, classes, prices, directions, entertainment attractions and lodging will be posted at www.fantasymoto.com in the coming weeks.
